Summary

Kenton Ridge Middle/High School is a combined middle and high school in Springfield, Ohio, serving grades 6–12 with about 1,025 students as part of Northeastern Local schools. The school recently posted its best results in the past decade: in 2025–2026 it ranked 257th of 795 Ohio high schools — 68th percentile with 3 stars — a big jump from 2024–2025, when it sat at 39th percentile with 2 stars. That places it in the top local tier alongside Shawnee High School (67th percentile), and well ahead of same-district Northeastern Middle/High School (44th percentile) and Global Impact STEM Academy (32nd percentile).

High school End-of-Course exams are a clear strength. Biology proficiency is 90.9%, American History 84.0%, Algebra I 80.8%, and English II 76.3% — all above district and state averages, with Biology tying the top local score. The graduation rate is 98.0%, near the top locally and far ahead of Springfield High School (87.0%). These results are notable given that Kenton Ridge serves a relatively high-poverty population compared with several higher-ranked neighbors.

Challenges remain. Geometry is the clearest weak spot at 31.0% proficiency, below the state's 43.3% and well behind Northwestern Junior/Senior High School (53.8%) and Shawnee (49.6%). Sixth-grade ELA (48.5%) falls below district and state averages, while seventh-grade math and eighth-grade ELA are relatively strong. Chronic absenteeism is the biggest operational concern at 30.9% — above the district's 23.8% and roughly double the rates at Shawnee, Northwestern, and Global Impact. Low-income students (52nd percentile) and special education students (40th percentile) trail the school's overall 68th percentile, though both groups improved sharply this year.
